lesson learned :p next time I'll just put him on the lid. I popped the lid off a few minutes ago to replace his water, and he came back out. He just wrapped around my wrist again with the head in my palm (it's so cute ), so I figured I'd give him another 10 minutes out. He sat pretty still and didn't really leave me to wander off anywhere. At one point he was wrapped around my leg, just hanging out, he was even comfortable enough to calmly stay on the leg for the walk back to his tank. He went right back in, no fuss or anything. Best part... NO PEE THIS TIME!

I know the general rule of thumb is once or twice a week, but he seemed anxious to interact, so I figured no harm in giving him 10 minutes.
